The Paris metro has ingress / egress on opposite sides at at least one terminus. It seems to work very well.

- Fnoord 8y agoInteresting. I wonder why NS (Dutch railways) don't have this solution given that trains in The Netherlands have difficulty driving on time. Accidents with passengers (e.g. suicide) also happen, but if a train arrives late during prime hours then they'll lose even more given its loaded and passengers cannot board before passengers left.
- Doxin 8y agoJust to note: the dutch railways don't "have difficulty driving on time". 90% of all trains ride on-time on average. And keep in mind that anything more than 2 minutes off-schedule counts. Last time I checked we're in the world top-5 with regards to running on time. That said: Improvements are always welcome ;-)
